However, those comparisons didn't sit well with the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California.

"Fun fact: President Nixon never fired the Director of the FBI #FBIDirector #NotNixonian," the account wrote.

The tweet included a picture of Nixon looking downright jaunty.

The only other president to actually fire the FBI director was Bill Clinton, who fired William Sessions over ethical concerns in 1993.

A few history buffs in the comments pointed out that the comparison between Trump and Nixon was because they both fired people in charge of leading an investigation against the sitting president. But, a fact is a fact. Nixon may have fired Archibald Cox, the special prosecutor on the Watergate scandal, but no, he never fired the director of the FBI.
